Ricky Ricardo HARRIS, Petitioner-Appellant,
v.
PATUXENT INSTITUTION, Respondent-Appellee.
No. 87-6710.

United States Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit.

Submitted: April 22, 1988.
Decided: June 13, 1988.

Ricky Ricardo Harris, appellant pro se.

Valerie Johnston Smith (Office of the Attorney General of Maryland), for
appellee.
Before WIDENER, ERVIN and CHAPMAN, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

Ricky Ricardo Harris seeks to appeal the district court's order refusing habeas
corpus relief pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sec. 2254. Our review of the record and the
district court's opinion accepting the recommendation of the magistrate
discloses that this appeal is without merit. Accordingly, we deny a certificate of
probable cause to appeal, deny leave to proceed in forma pauperis, and dismiss
the appeal on the reasoning of the district court. Harris v. Patuxent Institution,
C/A No. 85-3139-N (D.Md. Nov. 13, 1987). We dispense with oral argument
because the dispositive issues recently have been decided authoritatively. We
deny the motion for summary judgment and request to enter default.
DISMISSED.
